Featured exhibition
rest your glory —
a burning rip of the veil
Mixed-Media - exhibition in an altar format
Jeremy Rashad Brown
Born 1988, Ennis, Texas
Background & Materials
rest your glory — a burning rip of the veil is inspired by Cole Arthur Riley’s Black Liturgies, a cherished book gifted to the artist by Dr. Eva Margarita, and by the sacred presence of Black queer womxn and folx whose lives move as both testimony and tenderness.
The installation curates moments of protest, prayer, and embodiment, featuring:
Two photographs from the LGBTQ+ Solidarity for BLM March
(June 5, 2020 — Austin, TX)A rusted cross crowning a church in Cannon Beach, Oregon
(September 21, 2025)Six portraits of Black fem-presenting artists
Octavea LaToi and Kellee “Broadway” Fuller
documented over three years (2020 - 2023).
Each image rests within a delicate black frame against a golden satin wall.
A burnt, torn veil hangs within a faded blue church frame — a gesture of both covering and revelation.
Surrounding elements include:
Black pearls forming a line of quiet protection
White bricks anchored in memory of Black & queer history
Trellis greenery symbolizing continued growth
Dried rosemary & sycamore leaves & branches shaping a perimeter of sacrality
A bundle of oak, sycamore, and birch wood offered as rest, strength, and reclamation
At the altar’s base:
A jar of shea butter (for moisturization of what is divine)
A mason jar of purified water (for reverence, clarity, and reflection)
A bottle of Florida Water (for cleansing and protection)
Three wax candles representing illumination and endurance
Together, these elements complete a cycle of glorious rest…remembering itself again and again.
